I said "I got this", exited the game, went to the very last save I took after adding the 40mm AA gun from the office, opened the activeuserplayerunits.upc file within SaveGames, looked for the 40mm AA Gun entries, and then looked at the gun crew slots. I expected to fine a Crew Leader slot description (like L1), and then the 2nd crew man (C1) with the "additionalrepository" that I needed to delete (and change the slot from 1 to 2).

It's not in there! The 40mm AA gun in the equipment list says that there should be 2 crew slots, but they do not appear on the crew page in the Office.

Have you changed how to assign a second crew slot somehow from the last time I went through this, or did I miss something?

No, we haven't changed anything there. What boat are you in? Part of the problem with the 40mm guns is similar to the radars, in that certain conning towers have to be in-place for the gun to be able to mount. Generally speaking, you have to have the 3rd conning tower, which is the double-cut, at a minimum. The game is not supposed to give you the choice for the 40mm before you have a double-cut, but if you do still have a single-cut, that is probably part of the problem. As to the upc file, let me see if I can find my old "fix kit" for that...

Edit: OK, my current Aft AA gun is a 40mm:

This is for CrewMemberSlot 2

but you want to make certain you have all the parts for the gun.

You need all the lines of the weapon slot, and well as all the lines of the Weapon itself that sits in the weapon slot, along with proper crew slots. Compartement 2 is the Aft gun, Compartment 3 is the Fore gun (with exceptions, of course, in the S-Boats and the Cachalot).

I did take a quick glance to see if there were any specific issues in the read me but didnt glean anything, or missed it. Its cool, I can survive without reentering port.))

Well, good luck with it still. I do not trust the game to do right still... lol
